Currently the binary .cel files are supported. Support for binary .cdf 
files should exist very soon. For the average end user, the binary .cdf 
support should be a moot point, as the affy package automagically 
downloads and installs required cdfenvs. All but five or six of the 
existing .cdf files are downloadable from the BioC website, and as soon 
as we have support for the binary .cdfs they will all be available.
